technically apt people... are beginning to understand just what an internet stream hijack implies Well, I guess that excludes me. I didn't follow how they went from hijacking my browser session to getting my whole TCP stream. Could you explain?
Or did you mean that Phorm's servers intercept everything coming across my connection, and that the browser scenario was just one example?
I've heard it too on an old laptop. Not from the crappy speaker, but clearly from another part of the case.
I correlated it with dragging a large window accross the screen, but have no explanation for it. I figured that it was some inductance affair causing wiretraces to buckle, or somesuch.
it does a delta-sigma pulse density modulation directly on the output signal, which turns out to be a very low noise, inexpensive way to get high quality output Is this what's known as a Class-D amplifier?
Must be something about writing about primates. Baxter did the same thing with his origins series: when he started writing about gorillas and neanderthals, he went from a momentary hiccup in form to unbearable. I've vowed to not buy another of his books until he sends me a check to cover the last installement in that series (hardcover, no less).
I wish there was a middle of the road video card that had decent performance, but EXCELLENT resolution. My text editor doesn't need great 3D performance, but I need DVI output to drive a 30" screen.
Under the assumption that spam is illegal, and most porn is a copy-right violation, then the 99% rule would likely apply to all internet traffic, and not just bittorrent.
Digital pix, with their focus on low noise and so called pixel-peeping, are rather anathema to grain. I suspect that like LPs, it's the imperfections that make it work. You might be happier with a bit of artificially added imperfection: a slight bit of grainification. I have no idea what that photoshop filter is called, but I'm almost certain it exists.
Through a pin-hole, everything is in focus. The downside being that it's not the fastest lens in the world.
One of the cooler photography projects I saw was this guy who would make camera obscuras of hotel rooms, with a pin-hole lens in the curtains (which must be made light-tight, appart from the hole), and then take very long exposure pictures as the outside city is projected onto the hotel-room walls.
I forget his name, but he had an exhibit at the local MFA a few years back.
IIRC the problem with powered uranium (and more so plutonium, I think), is that when inhaled, it tends to get stuck in the *mumble* of your lungs, and sits there for years, slowly irradiating that one part of your lung with low level radiation until you finally get cancer.
I have understood that this is the fundamental problem often cited with nuclear piles in satelites; in space they're fine, but if it blows up during launch or de-orbiting, there's a risk of powered plutonium getting airborne, whcih would be bad.
That's a vanity conference, where acceptance is guaranteed as long as you pay the fee.
Pranking a proper conference, where academic careers are made, is harder (tho, in some fields, it seems that as long as you're buzz-word compliant, that's none too hard, all the same).

That's what I was thinking too. (not that I have any acronyms for it).
Basically the client just makes an XML request equivalent of "tail -f", and the server periodically just sends one more packet down the TCP pipe.
In order to do this over http, you might have to lie about the content-length (make it very large, and then close the socket when done), but that should be ok.
I'm sure someone must have implemented streaming over http before?
Couldn't you write a postscript routine to lay out your text? (mind you, I have no idea how much of a pain it is to reflect on things like font-metrics, so that may be less workable than at first glance).
I really don't think that the storage solution is what makes or breaks an HD recorder's size or pricepoint. If it were, then sony / jvc would just make an ipod-ish module and build their HD recorder around that.
Secondly, I'm not at all sure that an ipod is the best solution. I'd expect laptop drives to offer more bang for the buck, and since you need a lens assembly anyways, the physical size of the drive isn't the limiting factor. Similarly, the fragility of the lens limits how robust the drive needs to be, which is the other reason for wanting a small one (resistance to g-shock is proportional to inverse size).
One page frequently used had a tiny list of links on it to generate reports. "Daily"/"Weekly"/"Monthly"/"Yearly"/"All Records(Note: will take several minutes to generate)". GA was following all of those links to prefetch them.
[snip]
There isn't even a way to ask GA not to prefetch certain links other than hiding them in javascript or forms.

ARGH! font and color overload.

Century rain is indeed one of the better books I've found rencently.
highly recommended.
I also like the recent stuff from Jack McDevitt. I think omega was one which I read most recently.

great spot.
That just made my day
In this context, I think it's funny that you identify Jim as the creator of Jython.
Seconded.

And here I was thinking that IronPython was chugging along very well; last I heard it was faster than CPython.

Venti was a cool paper; a backup server implemented as a content-addressable database.
I'm suprised that Linus didn't reference Venti when introducing Git. The two are very similar, with venti predating git by a number of years.
Does refresh really matter for flat panels?
You'd want as many hz as your intended frame-rate, but movies at 30hz seem ok, so that should do fine, I thought.

Joe Marshall had a great comment about this sort of discussion, over on the ll-discuss mailing list:
It's like arguing over whether Guiness or Murphy's is better, when everyone else is drinking Miller and Bud.
Hrm.

So spdif is a container, or codec?
Ie, mpeg / avi (containers) or divx / mpeg-4 / mp3 (codecs) ?
huh.
you mean that google doesn't obey robots.txt?
That suprises me.
can you have cyclic references between frames, or is the reference relationship always one-way, even though it can be ahead or behind?
